An Ergonomic Kneeling Chair Will Have You Sitting Easy

If you spend seemingly endless hours sitting in a traditional chair, as most of us do, your back, thighs and buttocks are likely showing signs of stress and exhaustion. We often don’t realize how tense and tired we have become until we get up to grab a drink and realize we’re stiff, sore and lethargic, practically dragging our feet with each step. Less time sitting is often simply not an option, but sitting better is. And a key player in sitting better is an Ergonomic Kneeling Chair, like this top performer from Varier.

Contrary to popular belief and appearances, a properly-designed kneeling chair actually places no strain on the knees. The shins will bear some of the body’s weight in an ergonomic kneeling chair, but by and large the buttocks are still in charge of supporting the body while seated. Among the primary reasons that sitting itself is not an ideal position for the body is simple – we weren’t designed for it. Our bodies were built to move, and traditional chairs do not allow for the freedom of movement necessary to keep us healthy, alert, and physically and mentally engaged. Ergonomic Kneeling Chairs help to remedy this situation by placing the body in a position that encourages what is known as “open body angle sitting”. An open angle reduces back strain and the pressure between your thighs and torso, which makes breathing easier natural.

If you’re sitting in a conventional chair now, consider the crunch you’re putting on your mid-section. Lean back and release this pressure to see how much freer and deeper breathing becomes. An ergonomic kneeling chair is designed to allow for the freeness without the necessity of trying to accomplish tasks while leaning back!

It’s no mystery why Varier Ergonomic Kneeling Chairs are what most people think of when they consider this style of seat – Varier started it all. The iconic Variable Balans Ergonomic Kneeling Chair brings the original elements to life in an array of colors, available in styles with or without a back. A design that is greater than 30 years old is finally making its way into the mainstream, and backs across the world are grateful for it! The rocker bottom allows for movement so your seat never stops your body is from doing what it naturally wants to do. Sitting stops being sedentary, and aches, pains, and yawns stop sneaking into your day.
